[Solved] Problem with 128 Gb USB flash drives

I bought 10 128 Gb USB Flash Drives from a supplier in China by the name of Gogoea, paid $ 39.00 a piece, they are Kingston Data Traveler USB 2.0, they all failed to work after a couple of times using them, they loose information, some aren't even recognized, but in general they are not wokring. I heard that there is a way to fix this problem, even though you have to sacrifice capacity, reducing them to probably 64 or 32 Gb, but that is beter than loosing them. I had to reformat some of them, but I couldn't format them in FAT 32 of NTFS, I had to format them in ExFAT, the new format of Microsoft, but not only there is a problem to read them on Windows XP or Vista without Service Pack 1, you have to update Windows XP to be able to read this new format, and still they are not working. Any help will be highly appreciated.

I know that I have been ripped off, the strange thing is that when inserted for the first time, some showed 134 Gb free space, and some showed 126 Gb free space, and I was able to transfer files to the 10 units, and erased them without any problems, but after three or four times, they start dissapering the files, folders created are there, but you can't erase them, still it shows the high capacity. I understand that they are fake, but shouldn't they fail from the first time inserted?, and why do they show the high capacity, I have one piece with 12 full DVDs, and they worked fine for 5 or 6 times, now only three folders have information, the other 9, are empty.

Not to be TOO unkind, but I think a better description would be that you've "been had". Next time you should think twice about a deal that seems too good to be true...

yes rkaye, you are right. the only way to protect one is to buy via credit card paypal where you can have recourse. I paid direct to Bank of China, they will not do anything, it looks like everything in China is fake.
but we are at fault, we look to buy cheap. also the original are at fault they overprice everything. there got to be some middle ground. in the future please people you can buy anything but make sure the way you pay will give you the option to claim back your money.
